Of course, he never helped with housework. And he didn’t like sharing things with others. One day, Dan’s teacher asked him to do the cleaning after school because he didn’t do his homework. So he arrived home a little bit late. His mother quickly got worried when she saw the clock stroke to half past six. As soon as Dan arrived home, his mother asked him why he was late for home. Dan cried to her and said that his teacher was bad to him the whole day for something he didn’t do. Dan’s mother got very angry after knowing this.

D Ma Baoli is a pilot with the China Southern Airlines, in Liaoning Province. He has won the name “poetic pilot” for his love for poems. He enjoys reading poems in his free time. While flying over the Yellow River, he thinks of this verse (诗): “①Do you not see the Yellow River come from the sky, rush into the sea, and never come back?” Above the Yangtze River, he recites (吟诵): “Wave after wave, the Yangtze River roars east, sweeping away with it all our heroes.” He was amazed that those ancient poets could write such perfect poems. In early February, 2023, the 35-year-old won first place in the Chinese Poetry Conference (中国诗词大会). This is the second time Ma has taken part in the show since 2019. He fell in love with Chinese poetry when he was a child. For Ma, it is the most beautiful language in the world. “Once I pick up a book of poetry, I can’t put it down—②it’s a bit like those who can’t stop watching short videos on social media these days,” says Ma. Ma was born in 1988 in a village. His father, who worked hard to feed the family through farming and fishing, used to paint on the white walls of their house and write poems to match the paintings. “I enjoyed watching my father do these things and listening to him recite poems. The poems encouraged me to go for the dream of ‘reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles’,” Ma says. 32. Verse ① in paragraph 2 is from ________. A. 《将进酒》 B. 《观沧海》 C. 《木兰诗》 D. 《蜀道难》 33. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE? A. He likes watching short videos. B. He enjoys reading poems when he is free. C. He began to love poetry when he was a child. D. He took part in the Chinese Poetry Conference twice. 34. What does Ma mean by saying ②it’s a bit like...these days? A. Watching short videos is boring. B. People should read less about poetry. C. Lots of people watch too much short videos. D. Reading a book of poetry is great fun for him. 35. This passage is written to ________. A. show how to be a poet like Ma B. tell people the importance of dad’s love C. show us a pilot’s love for poetry D. tell people the importance of interest E ①Do you want to try something different for lunch today? How about a battery? Believe it or not, there are now electronic products (电子产品) you can eat! It might sound strange, but it’s real. A scientist in Europe started a project called Robofood, and it’s making edible (可食用的) electronic products. These products aren’t just machines or robots. They can be food at the same time. ②One of Robofood’s coolest inventions is an edible drone (无人机). The drone helps to find missing people or animals. You can even eat the wings of the drone if you are hungry during an emergency because they are made from things like rice cakes and chocolate! ③Besides, Robofood has made an edible sensor (感应器). When you feel sick, you can eat one. The sensor would go into your stomach and help the doctor understand what’s going on inside you. It’s easier for your body to digest (消化) and you won’t feel uncomfortable. ④Another Robofood product—edible batteries are a great invention. They are made from something natural like apples. So, instead of throwing used batteries away, you can eat them. It’s a smart way to deal with used batteries without harming nature. ⑤ ▲ And the biggest one is finding something stronger for the drone’s wings to prepare for bad weather and high temperatures–of course, the chocolate is not hard enough. Robofood is also thinking how to make smaller sensors so that they will be much safer to eat and work well at the same time. ⑥People have different ideas about Robofood. Some people are very excited about these products, thinking they could help a lot of people in the future. Others aren’t so sure and want to wait patiently to see if these products can really work well. Anyway, we should be careful and see how things go. 36. Robofood is a project to ________. A. make delicious food B. help homeless people C. make edible electronic products D. make house-keeping robots 37. The edible drone will probably be helpful for ________. A. Sam, a boy whose favorite pet died recently B. Jerry, a student who didn’t get on well with others C. Tony, a boy who broke his legs unfortunately D. Susan, a girl who lost her way in the forest 38. Which sentence is the best to put in ▲ ? A. In a word, Robofood’s products will be more and more popular. B. Besides, Robofood is trying hard to make more delicious robots. C. However, there are some difficult problems for Robofood to deal with. D. But people are worried that edible robots will bring some danger. 39. According to the passage, ________ shows the best structure of this passage. A. B. C. D. V. 口语运用。(每小题1分，共5分) 阅读下面对话，从方框内7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话。 A: Hi, Alice. ___40___ B: Hi, William.

However, is it really good for us to sit in our seats all day? The answer is surely No. In my opinion, we should relax and have a rest after class. It’s an opportunity for us to refresh our minds and bodies. Besides, we should get ready for the next class. The ten-minute break makes us stay active. To make good use of the break between classes, I think we should get off our seats to do more sports. We can also chat with our friends or play games. If we don’t know what to do, just walk out of the classroom and enjoy the green plants or the fresh air. In a word, everyone should realize the importance of making good use of a ten-minute break. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
